• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1 V @ 2 A
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 5 µA @ 1000 V
• Speed: Standard Recovery >500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 20 pF @ 4V, 1MHz
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C

Mechanical Parameter Equivalence:

• Package / Case: DO-204AC, DO-15, Axial
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Technology: Standard

The RL207GP-AP maintains identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility with the RL207-AP, enabling direct substitution in circuit applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RL207GP-AP is the direct substitute for the RL207-AP. Selection of the RL207GP-AP is based on the following factors:

Product Status: The RL207-AP is classified as obsolete, while the RL207GP-AP maintains active product status. This ensures continued availability and manufacturing support for new production and replacement applications.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, confirming regulatory equivalence for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters—reverse voltage rating, average rectified current, forward voltage drop, reverse leakage current, recovery speed, junction capacitance, and operating temperature range—are identical between the two parts. The DO-15 through-hole package and axial lead configuration are mechanically identical.

Supply Chain Continuity: The RL207GP-AP is available in higher inventory quantities (1090 Pcs) compared to the RL207-AP (1000 Pcs), supporting sustained production and maintenance requirements.
